Drinking more water is very important for your health, which can prevent irrigation, maintain normal temperature, and relieve stools. A new study also points out that drinking water is also related to aging rate and chronic disease risks. Adults with adequate drinking are healthier than those with insufficient moisture, less likely to age, have lower risk of chronic diseases, and have a longer life.
Those with sufficient drinks are less likely to show signs of aging.
The National Institute of Health Research (NIH) studied the health data of more than 11,000 adults in the United States for 25 years, and researchers obtained data from participants in the age of 50 and 70-90. The research team measured the concentration in their blood to know the moisture content in their bodies. Dr. Natalia Dmitrieva, a researcher at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Cardiology Regenerative Medicine Laboratory and author of the study, said that decreased body moisture is the most common factor in elevated blood calcification levels.
{}Although most participants' blood cord levels were within normal range (135-146mmol/L), researchers found that people with blood cord levels higher than 144mmol/L had a 21% increase in risk of premature death compared with those with more adequate moisture. Since the calender level can represent the body's hydration state, researchers therefore recommend that adequate moisture can reduce aging, prevent or prolong the development of chronic diseases, and thus prolong life.
However, some experts believe that the results of the study do not show causality. "There are many inconclusiveness. In addition to measuring blood calculus, the study cannot control which liquids the participants may have drunk and the hydration status at that time."
Patients with kidney disease and heart failure who require water restriction should consult a doctor.
But no matter what, adequate drinking is unquestionable for human health. Adequate water can stimulate blood flow and help the body eliminate toxins. Each person’s water needs vary, including age, gender, pregnancy status, body type, activity and lifestyle, as well as climate and environmental temperature. The daily water demand will also vary. The more you sweat or exercise, the more likely you are to drain water, and therefore the more water you need.
Although drinking more water is a good thing, some patients must drink limited water, including patients with kidney disease, heart failure and cirrhosis. The amount of water they drink needs to be consulted with.
